Ah interesting. I was thinking of this post

Is this because everything runs as root inside Flatpak? Wouldn’t it be possible to run as non-root inside Flatpak?

Nblood is a good source port, I think there’s a couple others too

Maybe slightly? But not worth turning away potential new users. We need more users.

Bots and spammers would just create accounts in advance and let them sit to get to the right age, it’d be the same.

I don’t think we should be limiting new users from commenting or posting. And 7 days is a long time.

Auto closing communities would be really annoying, but I think dimming them or marking them in the lists/search results would be nice. I filed an issue on this already https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/3174 maybe if more people think this is a good idea they could leave comments there

Deus Ex runs way better natively than in PCem

With the Vanilla Fixer you can get 4k and 300 fps, works on Windows and Linux

Changing the graphics driver model at the same time as making the desktop graphically demanding was probably a bad idea

I’m mostly just nostalgic for the aesthetic of 95/98/2000

Boy, have I got some KDE themes for you!

Is necro supposed to be a bad thing? I think it could be good to have long living threads, and Lemmy and PieFed have sorting options to allow for it (unlike Reddit) so maybe we should embrace it more

Yeah I’m just wondering how common that is for someone that just wants to play games and browse the Internet

Yeah that’s why I was wondering why this was posted in this community. But Loss32 is a (theoretical) Linux distro

Yeah but either way I’m just using Flatpak and AppImage. Is that harder in Bazzite than Kubuntu? I think Bazzite uses Discover just like Kubuntu

Yeah but like which ones? I’m using Kubuntu, but everything I need is either Flatpak or AppImage, and it’s easier than Windows

I’m not sure what advantage loss32 has over any normal distro+wine? A familiar user interface?

The advantage of Loss32 is that your shell would be inside the WINE layer, so you don’t have to run things with WINE because you boot straight into WINE. It’s easier for the user.

ReactOS’ claim to fame, IIRC, is that it also has driver level compatibility, and that’s something a Linux kernel couldn’t ever realistically do.

There’s a lot of driver support already in Linux. And aside from incredibly niche devices, more drivers could be made if needed. Especially if Linux becomes more popular and OEMs start shipping prebuilts with it, they will ensure driver support.

Is driver support stable in ReactOS? Can it handle hardware video encoding? Modern games with ray tracing and DLSS? FSR4 and frame generation? Does it crash less than Linux? If it still requires dev work for them to get new drivers working in ReactOS then is that actually better than just using Linux?

Getting more people on Linux will increase driver support, but ReactOS will always be smaller than Linux.

Imagine being Microsoft, you give ASUS your Xbox brand name for your flagship handheld gaming device. And then people start buying it to put Linux on it instead. And then articles get written about how it has better battery life and performance in Linux than in the included Windows.

I think Loss32 is the better idea for making an open source Windows

(Also why is this post in a Linux community?)

Thank you, way too many people saying Ubuntu and Mint in here lol

You could try Kubuntu

I use Flatpaks in Kubuntu no problem, don’t think I have any Snaps installed

Flatpak and AppImage. What programs can’t be installed on Bazzite?
